Zipangizo za iron oxide zimapanga utoto wosaopsa, wosatulutsa magazi, wosagwira nyengo, komanso wosachedwa kuzizira. Ma iron oxide achilengedwe amaphatikizapo kuphatikiza kwa ferrous oxide imodzi kapena zingapo kapena ferric oxides, ndi zinthu zosafunika, monga manganese, dongo, kapena organics. Ma iron oxides opangidwa amatha kupangidwa m'njira zosiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo kutentha kwa mchere wachitsulo, monga ferrous sulfate, kuti apange zofiira; mvula kuti apange zachikasu, zofiira, zofiirira, ndi zakuda (monga, njira ya Penniman-Zoph); ndi kuchepetsa mankhwala achilengedwe ndi chitsulo (monga, nitrobenzene yochepetsedwa kukhala aniline pamaso pa mankhwala enaake) kuti apange zachikasu ndi zakuda. Zofiira zitha kupangidwa mwa kusakaniza chikasu kapena zakuda.

Ndi amphamvu pa utoto ndipo ndi opepuka kuposa mitundu ina kotero nthawi zambiri amagwiritsidwa ntchito pamlingo wocheperako kuposa utoto wachilengedwe.
